Frogman

I've noticed that all the characters I make up are males. Maybe I should work on some female ones? Anyway, I drew this guy quite a while back. People who know me know that I loath/fear frogs like nothing else, but I like the idea of this sour looking dude who wears a frog suit... Or is it his skin? Is he half man half frog? Does he dress up like a frog to catch frogs to make balloons? Either way, he must resign himself to an amphibian life, and from the looks of it, he isn't too happy about it.

*On another note: Four days left in Japan.

Slug Attack!

Last weekend, I came home from a great Golden Week vacation to find my house taken over by slugs. Oh my god. They were everywhere. Thus, I've begun my slug extermination campaign. In English Club today, I drew this little scene to illustrate the my current position in the war on slugs. On one side you have slimyness, rain, and general unhappiness. On my side, I only have a salt shaker and a tendency to freak out.

At times, the problem at hand appears unsurmountable. They can hide in tiny cracks that I can't see. They are slimy and icky. When I kill them, they dissolve into a sticky pool I have to clean up. But take heed, slimy ones! You may be constantly lurking in the moisty places waiting to strike, but I have dogged determination and LOTS of salt (and don't forget slug poison).

Borborygmus

I learned a new word today:

"Borborygmus (plural borborygmi) (from Greek βορβορυγμος) is the rumbling sound produced by the movement of gas through the intestines of animals. The word borborygmus is an actual onomatopoeia for this rumbling."

Fair enough. But I still think the word sounded like a monster, so this is my "Borborygmus."

PS- There won't be very many posts in the coming week. The boyfriend's in town for a visit, which means I'll be gallavanting around Tokyo, exploring the Izu Penninsula, and going on other adventures; ie. having more fun than you. : )

Horseman

Not much to say about this one... An idea I had.
